In 1857, Blackwell (with her sister, Elizabeth Blackwell) opened the New York Infirmary for Women and Children.

After the Civil War, in 1868 the Blackwell sisters established the Women's Medical College in New York City (a teaching hospital). Emily became professor of obstetrics and, in 1869, when Elizabeth moved to London to help form the London School of Medicine for Women, became dean of the college. In 1876 it became a three-year institution, and in 1893 it became a four-year college, ahead of much of the profession. By 1899 the college had trained 364 women doctors.
